Why is epoxy resin SOOOOO tough that there are so few corrosive compounds that dissolve it?

1 answer:

5 0

well the epoxy is made from a poly chain type molecule that can hold its bonds strong with a additional setting agent that is non corrosive something like a compound similar to gold being non corrosive to many compounds like muriatic or nitric acid. when bonded together they make a touch and strong bond I'm not sure the name but there are forces that cant be broke by acid or corrosive compounds it makes the substance inert or non reactive.

1. Using the balanced equation, answer the following questions:

nalin [4]

Answer:

a) 2.53 × 10²³ molecules of O₂

b) 31.90 g of KCl

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for given decomposition reaction is as follow;

2 KClO₃ → 2 KCl + 3 O₂

Step 1: <u>Calculate Moles for given amount of KClO₃;</u>

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 34.35 g / 122.55 g/mol

Moles = 0.280 moles of KClO₃

Step 2: <u>Find out moles of O₂ produced;</u>

According to eq,

2 moles of KClO₃ produces = 3 moles of O₂

So,

0.280 moles of KClO₃ will produce = X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

X = 0.280 mol × 3 mol / 2 mol

X = 0.42 moles of O₂

Step 3: <u>Calculate No. of Molecules of O₂ as,</u>

No. of Molecules = Moles × 6.022 × 10²³

No. of Molecules = 0.42 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules/mol

No. of Molecules = 2.53 × 10²³ molecules of O₂

Step 1: <u>Calculate Moles for given amount of KClO₃;</u>

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 52.53 g / 122.55 g/mol

Moles = 0.428 moles of KClO₃

Step 2: <u>Find out moles of KCl produced;</u>

According to eq,

2 moles of KClO₃ produces = 2 moles of KCl

So,

0.428 moles of KClO₃ will produce = X moles of KCl

Solving for X,

X = 0.428 mol × 2 mol / 2 mol

X = 0.428 moles of KCl

Step 3: <u>Calculate Mass of KCl as;</u>

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.428 mol × 74.55 g/mol

Mass = 31.90 g of KCl

5) Calculate the molality of 0.210 mol of KBr dissolved in 0.075kg pure<br> water?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.8 \ m }}$

Explanation:

The formula for molality is:

$m=\frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent}$

There are 0.210 moles of KBr and 0.075 kilograms of pure water.

$moles= 0.210 \ mol \\kilograms = 0.075 \ kg$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$m= \frac{ 0.210 \ mol }{0.075 \ kg}$

Divide.

$m= 2.8 \ mol/kg= 2.8 \ m$

The molality is <u>2.8 moles per kilogram</u>

PLEASE HELP!?Consumers must eat other organisms for energy. Which organisms are consumers in this food chain?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Consumers must consume other organisms to get the food that they need and are known as Heterotrophs as they cannot make their own glucose. These consumers eat producers (plants). Herbivores are considered as first order consumers. These consumers eat consumers and producers (animals and plants).

Write a report on the implications of entropy to a Christian 500 words

Neko [114]

The universe is "running down," becoming randomly scattered and disorganized, tending to break down into its simple parts. Metals rust, parts wear out, dead organisms decay and turn to dust. The entropy of the universe is increasing.

The Bible provides an answer. A great amount of energy had to be expended to produce such great organization. As one scientist states the problem, energy was not enough. If you are asked to "reduce the entropy" of your room (put it in order), you certainly need to put in some effort (energy). But just adding energy is not enough. You could let loose a bull in your room, and it would expend a great deal of energy; however, that energy would not decrease but would increase the disorder of the room. Therefore, scientists know that to produce order, energy must be intelligently directed. Evolution requires that atoms and molecules assemble themselves into increasing order, but the science of thermodynamics assures us that the entire universe, when left to itself, is converting to disorder. The Apostle Paul referred to this concept when he said through inspiration that the entire earth is "subject to the bondage of decay." The original state required an intelligence to organize the complexities of the universe.

Christians, of course, have an answer to these perplexing questions: God. God is the Creator of the universe, the ultimate source of its energy and order. He created it with no entropy (no disorder). When man sinned, the universe began to increase in entropy (become more and more disordered). For Christians a discussion of energy, thermodynamics, and entropy is inspiring. These subjects invariably point us to the One who created the universe and sustains it by His power. Christians also know that His power will one day totally renew the universe and entropy will have no part in it.

Christians need never be afraid of science. God is in control of the universe and all the laws of the universe operate according to His will and design. Christians should be confident that they have the answers to the perplexing questions of nature.

Part 2

The above attitude allows christians to ignore questions that are difficult and this leads to mental complacency.

"This is gods work. I must not question or touch this". Is their motto.

When christians see difficult questions, such as entropy and creation, that is where they stop thinking and attribute it to god. They become intellectually crippled and refuse to make that one further step. It then halts progress until the shamen can integrate new knowledge into their mantra and dogma.

Science in general, tries to explain and understand and make further progress and additions to human knowledge. Christians will only try to understand what they have been taught and integrate any new knowledge when the older beliefs become untenable.
